The Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated. Only after entering here did Hai Long realize how naive he is. When he was in the Central Plains, he thought that as long as he entered the Western Regions, he would definitely find the small village where he was born and raised. But when he got here, he knew he was wrong. The territory of the Western Regions is huge and the territory is vast, no less than the Central Plains. Moreover, there are few people here, and most of the people are like the village he was in, who don't know much about the outside world at all. When he was in the Central Plains, he could still ask for directions, but when he got here, he could only find out by himself. Three days, it's been three full days, the Western Region Plateau seems to have no boundaries, and he still doesn't know whether he is getting closer or further away from Lianyun Mountain. On this vast plateau, he felt so small.
The sun shone viciously on the earth, because it was located on a high plateau, the air was extremely hot during the day, if Hai Long hadn't possessed a certain amount of mana, perhaps he would have been sunburned already. Taking out the water bag from the Qiankun Ring and taking a sip, Hai Long looked into the distance and groaned inwardly. He had already encountered four or five villages or tribes, but the result of his inquiries was that no one knew about Lianyun Mountain. Now that he has penetrated deep into the Western Regions plateau, although he can distinguish the north, south, east, and west, he doesn't know how to go on.
When Hai Long was at a loss, a figure came into his line of sight, that person was moving forward slowly, every few steps he would inevitably fall, but he would immediately get up and move on, as if he had some obsession As if supporting his body. Seeing a figure suddenly on this empty land, Hai Long couldn't help but feel happy, he floated up and greeted the man. As he got closer, he could see the appearance of that person clearly. It was a middle-aged man in his forties, looking extremely embarrassed. His face was covered by unkempt hair like weeds, and his clothes were like When Hai Long met the Yuhua sisters, he turned into a ragged strip. The exposed hands were full of sunburn marks, and the skin was as dry as a dead tree, cracked with fine lines.
Floating to the middle-aged man, Hai Long asked, "Uncle, what's wrong with you?" The appearance of the middle-aged man had aroused his compassion.
The middle-aged man raised his head abruptly when he heard the voice. Hai Long couldn't help but gasped when he saw his appearance. The middle-aged man's face was covered with sores, and the dry yellow-brown marks looked extremely disgusting. . There was no expression in his cloudy eyes, when he saw Hai Long, he suddenly shouted loudly: "Get out, get out of here, stay away from me."
Hai Long was taken aback, subconsciously took a few steps back, and tentatively asked, "Uncle, what's wrong with you? Can I help you? I have water and food here."
The middle-aged man's body trembled, and he shouted tremblingly with his hoarse voice: "No, no, get out of here, get away from me, I don't need your help. Get out of here." His The voice was full of desolation. Seeing his miserable situation, Hai Long couldn't help but think of his experience of being oppressed before. He didn't care about hiding himself any longer. He strode up to the middle-aged man and stretched out his hand to grab him. The middle-aged man seemed to have seen something terrifying, and his body retreated sharply, but he was obviously very weak, he staggered and fell to the ground immediately, Hai Long's grasp naturally fell through.
"Don't touch me, stay away from me, don't you want to die?" The middle-aged man's voice became more and more shrill.
Hai Long said suspiciously: "Uncle, I have no malicious intentions, I just want to help you! In this vast land, if you continue to walk, you will die."
There was a trace of desolation in the eyes of the middle-aged man, and he murmured: "Death, yes! Death, I just want to die! Stay away from me. I have been infected with corpse poison, which is very contagious. I can’t harm you. If you are infected, you will become like me. Leave me alone and get out of here quickly.”
"Corpse poison? The poison on the corpse? Uncle, can you tell me what's going on, maybe I can save you, I won't go there, just listen here. Here, you drink some water first. Don't worry , this water bag is for you, I have many more of the same, you don’t mind.” He said, throwing his water bag over.
Perhaps feeling the sincerity from Hai Long's heart, the middle-aged man seemed to have calmed down a lot. He was indeed thirsty, so he grabbed the water bag and gulped it down. Half a bag of water quickly went into his stomach. The panting sound gradually stabilized, and the middle-aged man moved back a few more times, looked at Hai Long gratefully, and said, "Young man, thank you. You are a good person."
It was the first time Hai Long heard someone call him a good person, and a strange feeling suddenly rose in his heart. He was not a nosy person at first, but he was reminded of the middle-aged man before, so he made up his mind to help him . Smiling slightly, he said, "Uncle, tell me what's going on. I'm not an ordinary person, maybe I can really help you." In order to show his strength, Hai Long waved his left hand and issued a blood gossip The red energy immediately blasted a shallow pit one or two feet deep on the ground not far away.
The middle-aged man looked at Hai Long in surprise, and said, "You, who are you? Well, I'm going to die anyway, so I'll tell you. But, you have to promise me that after listening to my story , Immediately use the light you just sent to hit me into that pit, and then bury me with soil, if possible, it is best to burn my body first with fire."
From the tone of the middle-aged man, Hai Long heard his fear of corpse poison, and said noncommittally: "You tell your story first, and then I will help you naturally."
He devoured all my relatives, my teeth are already bleeding, my whole body is constantly twitching, and my heart is bleeding! Only now did I discover the bite wound on my hand. I knew that I was also infected with corpse poison. In order not to hurt everyone, I wanted to rush into the flames and go with my relatives. However, everyone refused to let me die and pulled me hard. The chief also comforted me, saying that I was only bitten a little, so nothing might happen. However, I knew he was just trying to comfort me. As long as the corpse poison is contaminated, it will immediately spread throughout the body. Although I am not dead and I still have consciousness, it is impossible to get rid of the corpse poison on my body. The next day, I ran out when no one was looking, I just wanted to run far away, I didn't want to hurt anyone! I hate, I hate that zombie who killed my eldest son. He ruined our family. I have been out for three days. I don’t know why, but I haven’t died yet. Young man, kill me, kill me quickly . I'm in so much pain, help me end my life. "
Hai Long's eyes flashed coldly, and he said in a deep voice, "Are there any zombies around your village? Could it be a ghoul. If it is an ordinary zombie, it is impossible for your eldest son to return to the tribe after being bitten to death. It must be a ghoul. Hmph, I will go back to the tribe with you, and I will definitely help you kill that ghoul to avenge you." When he was in Lianyun Mountain, Hai Long once heard Ling Yuzi talk about the ghoul. The so-called ghouls are actually human beings themselves, but in order to pursue mana cultivation, they use specific methods to turn themselves into zombie-like creatures, but they are intelligent. For ghouls, the anger of living people and zombies are their reliance. This kind of evil cultivator, even people in the evil way, would not dare to use it as a weapon. In ten years, he has reached a level of cultivation that is not weak. Only the most evil people would choose this kind of cultivation method. Once the ghoul's cultivation level reaches a certain level, it will inevitably lead to the destruction of life and the spread of corpse poison, which is likely to bring devastating disasters to ordinary people. Shasi's story filled Hai Long with anger, and he agreed to avenge him regardless of the consequences. At this time, he didn't even consider whether his cultivation was strong enough to fight against the ghouls.
Shasi froze for a moment, and murmured: "No, I can't go back. I have become like this now. If I go back, I will infect everyone with the corpse poison. I can't go back. Thank you, young man, if If possible, you can avenge me. You can see our tribe by walking west from here, and the ghoul you mentioned may be nearby." After finishing speaking, he grabbed a sharp piece of wood on the ground. The stone stabbed hard into his throat. A yellow-green liquid flowed out from the wound, and the life gradually left Sha Si's body bit by bit. Shasi looked at Hai Long. Although he was about to leave this world, but he got Hai Long's promise, his eyes showed a look of satisfaction. With the hope of revenge, he has no more regrets. The body crashed to the ground, and he went.
Hai Long stood there dumbly. In fact, he had enough time to stop Sauce just now, but he didn't do that. Shasi's body has been completely corroded by the corpse poison, even if the Daoist Jietian is here, he may not be able to save him. And, what if he came back alive? The most cherished relatives are all dead, it is better to let them meet underground than to let him live alone.
A layer of faint cyan light appeared around Hai Long's body, and red beams of light rushed out of the blood gossip one after another. Shasi's body was buried deep in the ground by Hai Long, and a new loess suddenly appeared on this vast plateau. above. Taking out the small iron rod from his bosom, Hai Long took a deep breath, pushed his mana to the limit, turned into a phantom and galloped towards the direction Shasi pointed. In the air, there is a piece of crystal water droplets. The water droplets fell on the loess, and quickly seeped in, everything returned to calm, majestic caressing, bringing a bit of bleakness. Perhaps, after a few years, there will be plants taking root and sprouting on this embryonic loess. Sauce's great sentiment of self-sacrifice and self-sacrifice will nourish them to thrive.
